Jim Collins' famous analogy that talent management is about 'getting the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats' still works.  In fact for most, the McKinsey-coined 'war for talent' is just a straight fight to hire better and faster than (and from) the competition, whether that's in employee economy or CEO first class.

But things are shifting in new and important ways:

'A great bus to ride' - To ensure the bus only picks up - and keeps - the right people - increasing attention is now being paid to what your bus looks like and what kind of a once-in-a-lifetime trip it offers
'Who's driving the bus?' - Which in turn has shifted attention onto how talented the driver is - what kind of a seat they have as well as how much influence they (and others) have in scheduling the bus route
'The Magic Bus Theory' - Which has finally led to brands looking at how integrated, sophisticated and even mature their approach to talent is - as measured against competitors

As our free white paper illustrates, the 'war for talent' has now become a 'war for talent management'. 

Human Potential Accounting (HPA) specialises in helping HR, senior/executive management, and the entire board create integrated talent management frameworks through 4 simple steps:

1. Audit - including the costs, risks and impacts on your business
2. Consult - recommendations based on an understanding of the gaps between current and  future state and the link between talent strategy and business strategy
3. Implement - tactical and operational activity including training and development, communication and coaching and where appropriate strategic change such as culture change, OD, or revising governance and policy
4. Measure - progress review against agreed KPI’s to determine the effectiveness of the changes made

Throughout all 4 stages, key stakeholders are kept informed of progress with input/sponsorship at board/exec team level.
